Well, after no help and a lot of mind-numbing and eye straining searching, I've managed to acquire root on the tablet. Unfortunately, now things have gone from good to frustrating. One of the first things I did was to download Titanium Backup, backup the apps and try to remove the bloatware from the tab. Only problem is once I did this, I ran into a rather crippling problem where the Play Store refuses to download anything and I can't download anything using any browsers. I think the stupid mistake I made was deleting Asus service apps in addition to the software that I directly saw in the app drawer; I stupidly didn't know the difference between bloatware and service-ware or whatever you'd call it; I figured anything with the Asus or Zen labels needed to go. I've repeatedly tried recovering the apps that I'd deleted from the backups that were supposedly made in Titanium, but no matter how many times I selected individual apps or batch actions to restore missing apps, nothing was put back in its place even when Titanium said that the apps were restored; in such an event, I didn't see anything placed back in the apps drawer and when I rebooted, those apps were still grayed and struck-through. To be specific, batch restores yielded nothing, and individual restore efforts yielded in the app freezing on the option.

[EDIT] I've found a couple of ROMs buried in this thread from a Russian site that are supposedly for the device, but whether I try the 1GB or 2GB files, they both come out with the following error:

Fastboot reboot to recovery failure (Failed (remote: UNKNOWN COMMAND!))

I've noticed that I'm not able to boot into recovery; efforts to do so via the power and volume buttons yield a non-boot. I tried using The Official TWRP App and the ClockworkMod Manager(?) and couldn't get a-hold of any custom recoveries to install, and I can't get recovery to install via ADB, and before you ask, yes I had just enough brain power to actually look up the process of how to sideload recovery onto the device; I'll keep trying [in vain] but so far it's not worked. I'm starting to lose hair over this, can anyone help me with this?

New Experiences with z170c zenpad

It seems that the desire to root the zenpad 7 must be paid by all kind of problems with the tablet of which a softbrick is not even the meanest! For those in deep despair of what to do now after so many things tried on the kut app (dutch for ...) i have a new prob after getting the thing back in reboot! Now when I via Recovery flash the last firmware it gives the welcome page

stuck and frozen

! so I have bootload mode, i have recovery mode, I can root (very easy: fastboot boot rootimage) and now it is frozen ! Is there anebody out there with a working P01Z after trying to root the apparatus irritando! Bennio
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddstealth:
Damn man, I'm almost scared to keep trying after hearing that...

Curious, were you able to boot into stock recovery prior to your fixing that up or no? And are you working with stock at current or one of the TWRP/CWM variants?

As for your problem with the frozen at welcome screen, is that the first screen that you see after booting up for first-time setup with the blue circle and white arrow pointing to the right or something else? If so, I think I came upon that problem once when trying to rehabilitate my jacked up Nexus 2012. I'm on the clock right now, but I could give that problem a lookaround later tonight; if it is the same issue as mine (or similar enough), I think I had to boot into recovery and delete some troublesome system-related files. I'm a bit hesitant to do so though, 'cause I don't wanna make your problem worse, and I'm no android programmer or anything, just a laymen who's good at following directions. lol

Best of luck to ya, and again, I'll see if I can help you find a solution. :)

hello Paul, in post 337 you wrote about getting twrp on this tablet, when i follow your instruction there is a timaout of 75 seconds after the upstart on the tablet and the cmd.exe shuts and no twrp on the tablet. Do you have a solution? In post 339 you wrote about working with cm13 for this tablet. Has that been succesful? And if it was, which rom did you use? Hope to hear from you Bennie

I've tried this method to flash my recovery onto the tablet, but I'm coming up with squat at current, nothing but the following error message.

(bootloader) recovery partition type: raw
target reported max download size of 1019215872 bytes

Writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Flashing Partition: recovery
FAILED (remote: 'Fail to flash partition: recovery)
finished. total time: 0.436s.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Is my bootloader not unlocked or what? If that's the case, and I ready don't mean to be a burden but I'm a total greenhorn at this, how do I go about unlocking it? Does it happen automatically upon rooting the device or do I have to do a separate action?

[EDIT] Oy VOY! This is friggin' hilarious. I managed to get most of those partitions flashed and stuff (got the recovery working, ran into a bootloop but managed to fix that) after flashing things in a certain order, and all was looking decent but now I've gotta deal with a factory-reset tablet that now CAN'T TURN ON THE WIFI! I swear to God, if I weren't strapped for cash, I'd just toss this thing and get another tablet, this is getting ridiculous!

While I wait for someone to not respond to me because apparently I'm either an outcast or invisible, I'm gonna try flashing...EVERYTHING and see if something sticks as far as fixing this mess!

https://xdaforums.com/android/help/asus-zenpad-c-7-0-z170c-real-bad-brick-

on the side named above you can find a possible solution for the misery the zenpad 7 brings, and not only to you! try that one!

edit1: all the steps i did to get the z170c useable:

-in adb you write: fastboot devices (when you see a list of numbers and/of letters, you are in fastboot

-type fastboot format cache

-type fastboot format userdata

-type fastboot flash recovery (and than the recoverybin file i named above ) and thst it recovery again!

I cant guide u anymore as it been so long and its not fresh in my head anymore. Just follow the procedures above, make sure u got the right recovery files and i remember u have to sideload the correct update firmware (matching or higher than the recovery flash u flashed)

Connect your device in ADB mode to your computer, download the file below, and install the file while connected.

One of the issues I encountered doing the root on the z170c, on windows 10, was that the device driver while is fastboot mode was not recognized/installed.

to solve this I followed this link: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 and followed the instructions there.

After I used this link: blog.stigok.com/post/unlock-bootloader-asus-zenpad-z170cg-p01y I got confirmation the bootloader was unlocked.

Hey, I attached a SS of the ASUS Driver I selected its the 8.0.0.3 [2015 version]. Running Windows 10 Home, as far as connect/disconnect loop I didn't have an issue. I updated ADB to 1.4.3(i think)... I tried 1.3.1 and 1.4.3(Properties isn't telling me which I currently have installed).

Have you tried fast-booting manually(Vol-up + Power) then connecting to PC? It may be the order you are doing it in or out-of-date drivers/application causing the loop. You are Dev Unlocked and Debugging Enabled right? Did you select ALWAYS Allow 'your' PC to debug:confused:

LMK!

Yeah I have tried fast booting manually and then connecting to pc.I have installed google drivers and adb v1.4.3 .Debugging is enabled on the device and "always allow your pc to debug" is enabled.

Here are my instructions to myself should it happen again, assuming you are using Linux from the command line.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have to downgrade with service flash WW_Z170CG_V12.26.4.45-user-201512111951-rawdata https://yadi.sk/d/rnYi2TLcqFVWp

using script flashall_fastboot-no_wipe.cmd (included in archive). Interrupt the rebooting with long press of Power button!

Unpack the rar file and edit the flashall_fastboot-no_wipe.sh file so all occurrences of ./fastboot are changed to fastboot

----------------------------

in the terminal as root cd to this unpacked folder and Unplug Zenpad from USB

Press ‘+ Volume’ and Power On. When Logo appears, Keep ‘+ Volume’ pressed and let go Power ON. Wait for green screen

Plug into USB

as root at a terminal

adb devices

fastboot devices

Then continuing from above as root

./flashall_fastboot-no_wipe.sh

Wait to complete........

HOWEVER

Don't reboot the deice just Power off again.

Then from here https://yadi.sk/d/W37OCIEFrPib3 download the ROM Update UL-P01Y-WW-12.26.4.66-user.zip or latest and put on a micro SD card formatted to FAT32. Put the card into the Zenpad, Press ‘- Volume’ and Power On. When Logo appears, Keep ‘- Volume’ pressed and let go Power ON. Wait for little Droid and let go the ‘-Volume’. You should have the rescue menu. From here select the update from SD card, and there you are.
